since i just discovered this site, i was testing the waters to see if someone might be available. thinking of a resident that fishes a lot, and wouldnt mind having me join, for which i would be eternally grateful, lol. not sure of dates yet, or if i fish on the way to oregon, or on the way back. but i would do two days for sure. putting in near page, where i would stay. last summer was out of a huge marina with lots of houseboats (antelope?). really like topwater! we have a nearby lake (bastrop) with an incredible top bite all summer. 59 top strikes one morning! i like throwing yamamoto 3" pencil, yo zuri, and just discovered the IMA skimmer 4", which is rapidly becoming my favorite. just got 5 more from tackle warehouse! i go as clear as possible. that works on bastrop, for sure! i think i'm going to retire from teaching (still pondering), which would expand my schedule. right now i feel like leaving the middle of june. i don't smoke, but i can hammer about a third of a can of beer in my wild moments! when i lived in phx i drove up to lake powell national 3 times to play golf! moved to austin area 10yrs ago and immediately discovered fishing! hooked ever since...
